Why All Libraries Should be Using Facebook Events… and how.

Libraries can and should create events for programs with striking images and a great description as events can be shared through collaborators, Facebook groups, and Facebook users near the library will see the event in their feed. What’s not to love about that?!

Facebookers in your vicinity see your library event in their feed after you create an event.

You can tag event/program collaborators in your event who can then share your event to their audience. This widens your reach!

Users who mark they are “interested” in your event are notified every time you update the event.

You can share your event with community influencers, people who have a lot of connections in your community, and ask them to share your event.

You can pay a minimal fee (even just $5!) for an ad that allows you to choose a specific audience you would like to reach with the add. Imagine how far $5 would go in a Facebook ad for your libraries annual Santa visit or town festival!

You can link to Facebook events from other social media platforms and in emails.
